Todd found this website yesterday. Angela Coffman saved $100,000 in one year just by cutting her grocery spending. Isn't that amazing? Just thought that perhaps you'd be interested in checking it out too.
Busy finishing up projects today, getting together a few teacher appreciation packages and recovering from this morning's craziness. As I walked the girls into school, little E (only 2 feet in front of me) in the parking lot was almost hit by someone (not looking!) driving in reverse. Of course I yelled, made a major scene and dragged her with one arm out of the way. (The other arm was holding little Q.) Luckily, I have a really loud voice and the woman in the car stopped when she heard me, but still. It shook me up. I'm feeling a little drained right now. That school parking lot is a death trap. I can't even count the number of near-hits and crazy behavior there. Yesterday there was a major accident on the road in front of the school. (No one was hurt, thank goodness.) I'm glad we only have 1 more month of school. One more month to keep my babies alive while negotiating the school parking lot. Whew. Sometimes, it's not easy being a momma.

Hi Bethany, what an awful thing to happen, so glad you managed to react quickly. Yes we too have problems with reckless parents usually in big SUV's which are too tall to see kids behind or at the sides. The school has resorted to getting administrative staff and teachers to watch the drop off points to make sure nothing happens.
Almost the end of the week *Yaaaaay*
Oh, there is the Freegan movement in the US ..... really interesting, and these are not poor people. They are educated and productive, just frustrated at how much food and resources are wasted in the US.
Amen on that parking lot, Beth! It is so worth it to me to pick the kids up early every day...I'm glad Sarah takes a morning nap so I can :)
I'm having withdrawal...when are we getting together!!? :)
